Great hotel close to downtown

Great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are a good size and have air conditioning. If you’re staying here, it’s best to come out of the main door by reception and walk to Government Street to go downtown rather than going down Douglas. Sports bar onsite and complementary tea and fruit offered for breakfast. Would definitely stay here again!

Having to walk to the hotel at night from the off site parking areas was extremely concerning as a single female. The homeless would banter rude and offensive comments to me. The Hotel was lovely but they need to set up a Valet Service to and from the parking areas so their guests do not have to endure this

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The building, the facilities, and the rooms were all very nice. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. However, there are many street-people in the area on the nearby streets and at night it was a constant party and loud noise outside of our window at the corner of Douglas and Pandora until after 3am. As well the crosswalk signals continually chirp away through all hours of the night like an alarm clock. It is hard to overcome the inconvenience of the noise factor. The hotel even puts foam ear plugs in the drawer of the bedside table for your use. So, while the hotel does everything they can to make your stay enjoyable, the local environment greatly detracts from the experience.
